In this study, a mixture of three zeolite molecular sieves was synthesized for functionalization of different fiber-forming polymers. Zeolite particles were characterized using different analytical techniques, i.e. SEM, XRD, gas physiosorption and TG/DTG analysis. Surface functionalization of cellulose and polyamide fibers was carried-out according to different processes, pad-dry-cure and exhaustion, using different type and concentration of auxiliaries, different concentration of zeolites, different pH and temperature. SEM images, diffuse reflectance profiles and CIE colour measurements of zeolite treated PA and Co were taken and compared with the untreated samples.

COBISS.SI-ID: 18549014In the presentation, an overview of the preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid materials, aiming at diverse technical and biomedical applications, which are based on the conventional regenerated cellulose fibres with an attached layer of inorganic particles, will be given. Various inorganic particles were used, either in situ formed on the fibres’ surface or deposited onto fibres from pre-prepared stable dispersion. Different mechanisms of formation of respective types of particles were investigated in relation to supermolecular structure and surface morphology of fibres, which acted as nucleating/adsorbing sites.
